I went snowboarding today at Tussey, a mountain about 10 minutes down the road from campus. It was so much fun. I’m getting better so maybe I will be able to do some real trails in Tremblant. Anyway, that’s not what this entry is about. Afterwards, Casey and I decided to stop in Pizza Hut and grab a fancy, yet low class dinner. Personal pan pizzas and breadsticks! smiley face. And this is where I get to the point of the entry. We were reminiscing about the days of old, when you could read 20 books and get a free personal pan pizza. Book It was the name of this fine program. I remember I had so many stars up on the bulletin board in 3rd grade. It got to the point where I was out of “real books” in my house that I moved on to picture books that were about 10 pages long. I changed the name of a Sesame Street book called “Ernie Gets Lost” to Maria Gets Lost. It was so pathetic. I just really needed to get 20 more books, and after that I had to get 20 more. I needed that trip to Pizza Hut with mom and dad to get that personal pan pizza. It was like the academic nerd’s crack. Believe it or not, I was quite the academically inclined schoolgirl back in the day. Anyway, I just would like to say I think they should still have Book It for kids in college. Food is more of an incentive when you’re in college anyway, because we’re so broke all the time and would rather buy a 12 pack than grab a dinner somewhere. Plus, even if we have food we’re too lazy to make it anyway most of the time. When you’re a kid food isn’t really an issue; you always can get some. Therefore, I think all college kids should join together and rally to implement the Book It program for those of us who have gone on to further their education. The end.
